Non league day.

[Rotterdam 82]

The goalkeeping duties have been shared by Reece Francis and Tom Savage this season.

The team has been completely rebuilt over the last season or so and are hopefully on the way back to better things having had to start in the MFC 2nd division a couple of years ago.

Highmoor Ibis  vs  Slimbridge is taking place over the road from me, literally.  Looks like that's my game!

[ADVILLAFAN]

Stour v Stefanmooresstneots is the place to be.

I may well join you Dave

[PGW]

[N'ZMAV]

Cradley Town v Dudley Sports is closest for me. Might go, if the missus wants to.

Where is Cooksey Lane (wonders if Dave Cooper will have been to this venue....)

[PGW]

Cooksey Lane is in Kingstanding Post Code for ground is B44 9QS.
Its an away game for us as we normally play at Northfield Town!!!

It's all secure now (as far as I'm aware). The stadium is in a much better state than it was left by the guys who ran Rovers into the ground.

The pitch is absolutely fantastic, the bar is great too and with an average gate of 250+. things are slowly coming together for them.

Didn't they have a pitch with a slope like the north face of Everest ? Seem to remember they did when i went for a pre season " Friendly" with Kiddy Harriers a few years ago.

I can't recommend non-league highly enough as an antidote to foul, money mad, moral free cesspit of the proffesional game at the top level.

I was going to Lye V Gornal but a late change of plan sees me hiding from our grumpy leader at Stourbridge.

Are the pies any good ?

Not that I remember. Admittedly my last Rovers game was the Barnsley FA Cup match in about '93.

IMO the best food at a football ground i have ever tasted was at Kiddy Harriers.
In the middle of winter you can get a fresh pasty and a large cup of the famous, and i mean famous Aggborough soup. Well, it's more like a stew than a soup and it really is good.
From what i remember they won the non league " Best food" award many times.
If you can't watch the Villa then take a trip to Kidderminster for a game. Not a bad side and the food is great.

[Legion]

Yes, the soup at Kidderminster is a bit special.

[danlanza]

It is Legion. Also remember that the food at Lincoln City was a bit special when i went there, must be nearly 8 years ago now.

[PeterWithesShin]

Kiddy fans have six fingers. And Kim Casey was shit. Bunch of inbred twunts.
